A tip of the hat to Alabama...Randy Owens, Teddy Gentry, Mark Herndon, and the late great Jeff Cook. They were the sound of a generation. Their duet with Lionel Richie, "Deep River Woman", will always live in my heart.
Not only did he include Alabama in the video, when he teamed up with Alabama’s lead singer, Randy Owen, to cowrite the song too, as he was the one that wrote most of their songs, including Tennessee River & Mountain Music. ❤
While I never rooted for Jeff Gordon, Gordon is a 4x NASCAR Cup Series Champion. I can honestly say Jeff Gordon is one of the best NASCAR drivers of the 90s & early 2000s. Gordon well deserved his 2018 Motosports Hall of Fame & his 2019 NASCAR Hall of Fame. He's easily in the Top 50 NASCAR drivers of all time.
I've always loved this video. The guy he is talking to is Jeff Gordon, NASCAR Racing Champion (retired now). Oh, and the cars? Chevy Corvettes. Old School ;) Oh, and Jeff and Brad's wives are driving the cars. Darryl Waltrip (retired NASCAR Driver) is the old guy in the golf cart, and Alabama is....well, Alabama :)
Love this song. And yes Jeff Gordon is a nascar driver he's my sons favorite. I love both Alabama and Brad Paisley so this is the perfect song for me. I knew all the songs of Alabama's Brad names in the song.
You really can't appreciate this song until you've listened to all the Alabama songs referenced in it. You definitely need to do some Alabama reactions.
Jeff is a BASCAR driver/was, he is driving a Chevy Camaro, The cop was in a late 60s early 70s Dodge Charger, the other 2 cars were early 60s Chevy Corvettes, actually I think it was just one car but the paint type on it changes color, or seems to, when light hits it a certain way. That technique was quite popular with hot rodders , they used Pearlized paints.
There's at least 3 of the names of Alabama songs in the lyrics. The 4 guys in Alabama sing the start of their most famous song, Mountain Music. Most of the music in this song, is based off of Mountain Music.
I love Brad Paisley no matter what he sings and I grew up listening to and loving Alabama. I consider this video one of the greats. Yes, Jeff Gordan is a Nascar driver. If you want to delve into the history of Nascar, you will find it began with moonshiners. The moonshiners modified their cars to go as fast as possible so they could outrun the law and it developed into them racing each to see who had the fastest car. If you go back far enough in history, some of the first Nascar drivers were arrested themselves for running moonshine. The official sport evolved from those first racers.
The black car Brad was driving when you paused the video was a 1st Generation Chevrolet Corvette; couldn't tell precisely the year but it would have been from 58-61. The red car the girl was driving early in the video was a 2nd Gen Corvette from the mid 60s; I'm guessing 67. The were a couple other classic cars some girls were driving but couldn't get a very good look at them, but they didn't appear to be Corvettes. You can see the Corvette logo on the first two cars, which is two flags crossed, one a checkered flag and the other a red flag with a Chevrolet symbol and usually a fleur-de-lis.
Ok so Alabama's music is the soundtrack of my youth. Pick any of the songs mentioned in this song by them and react to them. Feel's So Right, Dixie Land Delight, Love in the First Degree. You will recognize so many of the licks in this song from Alabama songs. Yes Jeff Gordon is a NASCAR driver. If you look into the history of NASCAR, you might become a fan. Prohibition and moonshine runners. The song Cooperhead Road, the first part anyway, is about ridgerunners (delivering illegal liquor to people as fast as possible). Also, Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn did a few solo songs. My favorite one is Coast of Livn'. If you can add that one to the list, I would appreciate it. Thank you!
I really found it enjoyable to listen to those Alabama songs back in the '80s . And Brad Paisley does great in practically everything he comes out with. I especially like his fun songs too--for example, "Ticks".
Hello another amazing reaction, yes Jeff Gordon was a nascar driver one of the best of the best. They also showed DW old school nascar driver, he was on the golf cart. He was amazing for his time also. Good thoughts prayers to you and yours
I really enjoy this song, you really need to know Alabama's music real well in order to get a lot of the references in this song. It's awesome how they merged a lot of Alabama's music into this song. ❤
Jeff Gordon is retired Nascar and Darrell Waltrip is also a retired Nascar legend and knon for his "boogidy - boogidy" call out when the cars start racing. After both retired both became announcers and both in the Nascar Hall of Fame. Muscle cars and Corvettes are still popular in the states and there are car shows all around the country as well as car clubs. I think the Ford Willys Coupe is fine and also rare to find an original. I love hot rod cars and nice to see you appreciate them too!
Never met Brad Paisley, but briefly met his parents once. Very nice salt of the earth folks from smalltown WV. The Paisleys are best friends with my former neighbor's parents. One year when Brad was in town for a show, both sets of parents were over my neighbor's house. Funny seeing a picture of a 8yr Brad Paisley holding my neighbor as an infant considering how tall & broad my neighbor grewup to be.
Those were old Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays. With a couple of Camaros thrown in. Alabama was a super group, 80s artists of the decade. Great song, by the way
This was released in March, 2012 and became Alabama's first Number 1 song since Reckless from 1993. Brad perfect as usual, mader this his 17th Number 1 song. Just a great blend of great country talent. Glad you liked it and the cars Craig. Great reaction. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
One of the woman driving the 'vets was Kelly Earnhardt-Miller she is the daughter of the late NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhardt Sr. & The sister of retired NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. She co-owner of Jr. Motorsports along with her brother & Rick Hendrick
First, some recommendations inspired by this song: "Another Sunday in the South" by Miranda Lambert; then, listen to Alabama's original "Love in the First Degree", and then listen to the cover of it by Wade Bowen and Brandy Clark. Now, I'm going to have to be the skunk at the garden party and give some background on this video. Hank Junior was right when he said country music is a family, and being Southern family, there are some feuds. The three guys from Alabama in the video are actually cousins. This video was made after they had mostly retired. For their entire career, their drummer was a very notable member of the group. He is originally from Massachusetts, and he and the other three all met in Myrtle Beach (?) when the cousins' drummer had quit on them, and the drummer's band had deserted him. After retiring, they then informed the drummer that he had actually been a "contract worker" for Alabama, which they stated was really just the three of them, for the entire 15+ years of their popularity. They sued him for remunerations. It was well known among country fans at the time, and most took the drummer's side, although he settled and paid them something (Google it, it won't be hard to find). So in making this video, they "conveniently" cut the drummer out of all of the old videos and worked Brad in, in his place. Still a clever video and kick-ass song, but with a side of snark that is not missed by long-time country fans.
I don't know if they were cousins, brothers or what. I'm 65, used to run with Greg Paisley in McMechen WV. Greg was killed, while riding his bike, at the age of 13. he was my age.. when brad made a name for himself, he lived in Glendale, about a mile south of McMechen. I don't remember Brad, I'm sure he's related to Greg
The red car is an early 60's Corvette, and the black one was a mid to late 50's Corvette. I'm not sure of the exact years, but I'm sure someone else will correct me.
When I was a kid I was on a church trip somewhere. And our youth pastor was driving the van and I was sitting in the second seat behind him. And he told us a story about when he was in college and he met his Girlfriend who by this time was his wife and mother of his children. He had a bench seat truck and she was sitting right next to him and he had his arm around her shoulders and he got pulled over by a cop. The cop came up and said I noticed you guys sitting so close he says son don't you think it's probably a better idea to use both hands. Without missing a beat my pastor told him well i'd love to officer but then what would I drive with. 😂😂😂
Jeff Gordon drove a Chevy when he was driving for NASCAR the cars in the video are vintage Corvettes, I believe one of them could be a split window vette
I love Brad Paisley and the group Alabama (especially “Dixieland Delight” when played at Bryant-Denny Stadium) as well as the state of Alabama. I live there. Great state! Not a racing fan though.
All the cars in this video were Chevrolets the two you liked were corvettes early “60s the one with the point on the hood (bonnet) means it has a big block motor (lump) it’s called a stinger hood
That was fun, hadn’t seen the video. Loved Alabama of course but really enjoyed seeing Jeff Gordon and Darryl Waltrip as well. I believe all the classic cars were Chevy Corvettes. I know Gordon drives Chevy’s 😉. I haven’t paid much attention to NASCAR since my Dad passed (Earnhardt fan) so it’s not as much fun.
Love, love, love that Alabama was in this song.. I assume Jeff Gordon is good otherwise I wouldn't know who he was🙃 I do know that they have been mistaken for each other. I prefer Brad's fun side as well. His other stuff is really good but his fun songs are great
Hey Craig, great as always, but u do need to do an 'Alabama' song. Might I suggest some 'Kentucky Headhunters', they are very up-beat! Thanks! Hi to Millie & the family!
Please do a video reacting to John Michael Montgomery! Best songs include “ I Swear,” “I love the way you love me”, “The little girl” , “ Letters From Home” and “Sold “
Everyone from our generation knows those cars- they’re Chevrolet Corvettes! Total American muscle car and prized collector ‘s cars. The first muscle American car.
Classic Corvettes. Corvettes are made in lovely Bowling Green, Kentucky. 💗
Love this song
The guy sitting by Brad was the race car driver Jeff Gordon. The corvette convertible is gorgeous!
I think I saw Darryl Waltrip in there too 🧐
@@firequeen2194 you did & Rick Hendrick was the one selling popcorn .
A tip of the hat to Alabama...Randy Owens, Teddy Gentry, Mark Herndon, and the late great Jeff Cook. They were the sound of a generation. Their duet with Lionel Richie, "Deep River Woman", will always live in my heart.
I love how he got Jeff Gordon and the original band Alabama to be in this video! Graduate so much fun! Nice reaction!
Not only did he include Alabama in the video, when he teamed up with Alabama’s lead singer, Randy Owen, to cowrite the song too, as he was the one that wrote most of their songs, including Tennessee River & Mountain Music. ❤
Red one is a C2 Corvette, black one is a C1 Corvette!
Now you have to check out Dixieland Delight by Alabama for context!
Almost home - Craig Morgan. Was just listening to it.
While I never rooted for Jeff Gordon, Gordon is a 4x NASCAR Cup Series Champion. I can honestly say Jeff Gordon is one of the best NASCAR drivers of the 90s & early 2000s.

Top 50? More like top 5.
First time for me to listening and seeing this video. Was great Great. Loved it.
I love Brad. He has so many good songs. He’s a genuinely good guy!
All of Brad's songs are like this
I've always loved this video. The guy he is talking to is Jeff Gordon, NASCAR Racing Champion (retired now). Oh, and the cars? Chevy Corvettes.

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!
Awesome how they put several of Alabama's songs references in this
Corvettes early ones 1950-60s
Those last bearded singers were the group Alabama.
Yes Gordon is a well know race car driver.
Love this song .I can’t choose with what side I love everything brad does!! Thanks for this reaction.
Cool, Brad Paisley and Jeff Gordon and I can’t forget Alabama
Alabama is probably one of the greatest country bands ever. This a a great tribute. Please react to Alabama songs.

Dixieland Delight
Why Lady Why
Love In the First Degree
Feels So Right

Those would be old 60s Corvettes My favorite is the 78 stingray red t top
I believe the vehicle you liked so much was the first model of Corvettes ever made, don't quote me though
Hello another amazing reaction, yes Jeff Gordon was a nascar driver one of the best of the best. They also showed DW old school nascar driver, he was on the golf cart. He was amazing for his time also. Good thoughts prayers to you and yours
Randy owen is one of the few that can keep up with Brad on the guitar. There was also a Chevelle in the video
Hey a favorite Brit reactor! Sending prayers and condolences on the loss the Girl Boss the Queen herself. Sending love from the US 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Brad Paisley song "Water" Thanks! 😊
The red was a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The black was a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray.
Yup! My uncle was killed in one. 67
and in the refrain..he sing "dixie land delight" it's an original song by alabama
By the way the style of Brad Paisley's guitar playing is called "chicken pickin'".
I really enjoy this song, you really need to know Alabama's music real well in order to get a lot of the references in this song. It's awesome how they merged a lot of Alabama's music into this song. ❤

Love watching your country music journey. Brad's song Alcohol is another fun song.
So very sorry for the passing of the Queen. You have our thoughts and prayers 🙏❤️.
Do some Alabama reacts. They are super nostalgic and fun.
Never met Brad Paisley, but briefly met his parents once. Very nice salt of the earth folks from smalltown WV. The Paisleys are best friends with my former neighbor's parents. One year when Brad was in town for a show, both sets of parents were over my neighbor's house. Funny seeing a picture of a 8yr Brad Paisley holding my neighbor as an infant considering how tall & broad my neighbor grewup to be.
My favorite Brad is when he merges romantic and funny like he did in Little Moments…because that feels like actual life in all it’s glory.
Those were old Chevrolet Corvette Stingrays. With a couple of Camaros thrown in. Alabama was a super group, 80s artists of the decade. Great song, by the way
This was released in March, 2012 and became Alabama's first Number 1 song since Reckless from 1993.
Brad perfect as usual, mader this his 17th Number 1 song. Just a great blend of great country talent.
Glad you liked it and the cars Craig.

The black car is an early 60's corvette and the red one is a '63 to '67 Corvette. Great song, RIP Jeff Cook 🙏
One of the woman driving the 'vets was Kelly Earnhardt-Miller she is the daughter of the late NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhardt Sr. & The sister of retired NASCAR Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. She co-owner of Jr. Motorsports along with her brother & Rick Hendrick
Jeff Gordon is a NASCAR driver. #24. Brad is awesome on the guitar, isn't he? Those cars were spectacular.
@02:58 brad wear a shirt from the band alabama....( i visit her country bar in myrtle beach 1990)

Red one I believe is '67 Corvette, Black one, '57 Corvette.
The red car is an early 60's Corvette, and the black one was a mid to late 50's Corvette. I'm not sure of the exact years, but I'm sure someone else will correct me.
Search for Rick Hendrick. They were his private collection.The 59 corvette sold at Barrett Jackson's auction but it did not give a price.
If you are referring to the two convertibles, both are classic Chevrolet Corvettes
The car looks like a Chevrolet (Chevy) Corvette. Beautiful.
They were "older" Chevy Corvettes Taylor Fam!! Beauties, aren't they!??
Almost all the lyrics in this song are song titles or lyrics to songs by Alabama. As well as some of the guitar riffs are from Alabama songs.
When I was a kid I was on a church trip somewhere. And our youth pastor was driving the van and I was sitting in the second seat behind him.

1960 vintage Corvette. 1963 I think
R.I.P. Jeff Cook.
Jeff Gordon drove a Chevy when he was driving for NASCAR the cars in the video are vintage Corvettes, I believe one of them could be a split window vette
Would be fun if you reacted to each Alabama song referenced!
Part of the cars and driver's are Nascar race cars and the driver's. Nascar started from running Moonshine in North Carolina.
Born and bred in the heart of dixie (Alabama). Love everything ALABAMA!!!
Those were Corvettes and a Chevelle.
Thats Famous (Retired) NASCAR driver Jeff Gordan
Darryl Waltrip too
Fun side
I must be getting psychic in my old age. When I saw the cars at the beginning of the video I just KNEW you’d stop and ask!!
I love Brad Paisley and the group Alabama (especially “Dixieland Delight” when played at Bryant-Denny Stadium) as well as the state of Alabama. I live there. Great state! Not a racing fan though.
All the cars in this video were Chevrolets the two you liked were corvettes early “60s the one with the point on the hood (bonnet) means it has a big block motor (lump) it’s called a stinger hood
Being a girl from Alabama, love anything Alabama!!
That was fun, hadn’t seen the video. Loved Alabama of course but really enjoyed seeing Jeff Gordon and Darryl Waltrip as well. I believe all the classic cars were Chevy Corvettes. I know Gordon drives Chevy’s 😉. I haven’t paid much attention to NASCAR since my Dad passed (Earnhardt fan) so it’s not as much fun.
Brad's is a 59 Corvette and the two red ones are a 67 Corvette Stingray and a 57 Bell Air. Jeff Gordon's car is also a Chevy Impala
Jeff Gordon is my favorite NASCAR driver! He's a little polarizing...folks either love him or hate him.
Definitely after this, you should check out the song it was based on, Mountain Music. I'm sure you'll hear the similarities.
Love, love, love that Alabama was in this song.. I assume Jeff Gordon is good otherwise I wouldn't know who he was🙃 I do know that they have been mistaken for each other. I prefer Brad's fun side as well. His other stuff is really good but his fun songs are great
Corvette's my man . "Glass Coffins"
Jeff Gordon, my favorite Race Car Driver
Two Corvette 's, and a chevelle at the end . Plus numerous others parked around and in video.

Have you reacted to songs by the group Alabama? They are amazing!
Those are early 1960's Corvettes
Riverbank is a nice one
There are MANY Alabama references in this song
First car was 1966 or 1967 Chevy Corvette the second was 1957-1962 Corvette
The cars were 1956 Chevrolet Corvettes. I believe one was U.S. and the other was made for Europe.
Home Free and Alabama
Try out This is Country Music and I’m Still A Guy. Brad Paisley is a super talented singer/songwriter/musician!
Neil McCoys hillbilly rap is a fun song
